I just bleed pressure at the schrader valve. Put a rag under it and either unscrew the valve or just press the valve.

You may need to unhook the fuel lines from the rail. A special tool is needed to do that.

thank you sir.

my tuner said the 07's are held in with an o-ring instead of a clip on the rail?

he said you just pull em out with channel locks.. sounded fonky, but i dont know, i have never fonked with em.

i will but the tool just incase. i assume i can get it at autozone or o'reilly ?
